This year's planting was held up a bit by the prolonged frosty mornings and then the sudden wet weather. But finally, we are coming to the end of this year's planting. Our planned potato planting day last week turned out to be a bit too wet to really get stuck into it - with potatoes ending up floating in the water-filled trench after all the heavy showers...! - but now that it has dried a bit, the job is nearly done, and we will be doing our morning walk along the trenches, looking out for the first shoots of green showing.
